COLOMBIAN BONDS. It will be observed that there was a great advance ,yea terday In Colombian Bonds. We feel it our duty to can- I tion the public with respect to those rumours ailoat,whose tendency is to increase the value of those instruments.— 1 We bring no charge against any man; but some cireutn stances have come to our knowledge which may be use fully communicated to the Public. A gentleman had the courtesy yesterday to show us a written order from M. Humid°, the Colombian Miuister, to effect an insurance on a shipment of dollars to the amount of .160,000/. ster ling. M. Hurtado must have received the despatch on winch this.order was founded either on Saturday or Mott ' last, for we cannot learn that there have been any arrivals from Certhagena since the last of those days.. The sure to be insured is very voosiderable. The credit of his Govern ment is involved in the arrival of the car, or in the forthcoming of, an equivalent for it,, if it should be lost ; and yet more than twp days are suffered to elapse at this dangerous season of navigation, before application is made to effect the insurance, for NI. Hur tilde's later is dated yesterday morning. The circum stances eltogeater appeared to the most respectable brokers so singular, that they, for a long time, declined to underwrite. It is asked, why it is that, in a matter of such importance, M. Hurtado, who is in town or its neigh bourhood, has not himself applied directly to some of the insurers, instead of employing an agent, who has, of course, nothing to produce but a written order, unattended with any explanation stenaturally asked for in the present state of Colombia ? Actuated _by this and similar reason% ) the underwriters, up to nearly four o'clock yesterday, had declined the insurance ; but about half an hour before the Close of business, the policy was opened at 40s.itremiuna, with ii condition to return 3.55. if (and this seems a curi ous condition) the ships shall arrive without any specie at The sums underwritten amounted, it is stated, to about 30,000/. Under these circumstances, we think that M. Hurtado owes it to his own personal character, as well as to the credit of his Government to give a full explanation of the causes which have induced him to delay for more than two days, the completion of the insurance, especially when he must know that extensive speculation is going on under the sanction of his name. • There are persons, we may observe, who would not attach implicit confidence even to the circumstance of an insurance actually effected, because they argue that great advantage might be taken of such a transaction at very trifling loss; but on this point we will not touch. We will take it for granted, that M. Hurtado would not effect any, bat a bond„ de insurance on a real security: but we must repeat, that, in order to preserve that unimpeachable urity of reputation which belongs to' a Government. Envoy, he should not delay for one moment,to take every step that may silence even the most malignant. Meantime, till the explanation shall appear, we have no tll;Jig further in the way of intelligence, except the fol . lowing extract of a letter, dated Carthagena, the 20th of July, which seems to give a different complexion to the state of Colombian finance:— • ' • " Thia Government is taking all the means which are within its reach to secure the interests of the foreign debt, but these mea sures cannot be put in force until the end of October. There fore, until January next, no money will be received in London fur the payment of the interest, due in July, 1826, and those of January, 1827 ; but in the meantime this Government is autho rised to negotiate in London this money. The law of publie ered►t which is in farce, will secure the credit of the Republic, provided the Republic can procure the necessary finc h ► for the payment of the foreign debt." Since the above was written, we have made inquiries, and find that M. tinrtadn has been out of town since Mon del/ mort►ing. This circumstance throws an additional mystery over the whole affair.—Times. M sTELUOUS ATti. (From the Boston Gazette, October 10.) On Monday the 2d instant, an inquest wits held before Mr.; Mastin, coroner, at Horncastle, on view of the body of Sarah Plant, then lying dead in Toynton Church. George Al!bones deposed, that on Sunday the 24th ult. he saw the deceased willking, with a man who was • dressed in a long white smock frock, near an enclosure which divides the parishes of Scrivelsby and Horneastle. Witness observed the deceased Shake her head at her com panion when they parted. and she then proceeded towards Horncastle; the man in the smock frock taking the oppo site direction. After site had walked about 60 yards, witness saw her fall down, apparently iliry Robt. Osgaby,sen.. of Thornton le Fen, said on Saturday the 16th ult. his son Robert attended at Horneastle, under a magistrate's warrant, to make provision for the mainte nance of an illegitimate child, which had been sworn to him by the deceased, Sarah Plant, who hid lived nearly a *dye month in the service of witness. Deceased had used herself to taking laudation), yet witness neither knew who fetched it, nor where it was procured. Mary Moody, on Monday, the 25th of September, found deemed fiting in a ditch by the side of the road leading to Tedford. slie was taken to the house occupied by the husband of witness, and on the following Thursday she ex pired. Deceased Vild the witness that young Osgaby went with her to Toyn:on; and that he gave her plenty of ale on the road. Witness told the deceased that she was afraid Osgaby had put sons; thing into the ale, and de ceased said she doubted he " t)ied from the effects of a deadly opiate, but how or by whom admi nistered no evidence was adduced." The Coroner's Court, on the above inquest, opened at Toynton at eleven o'clock on Monday morning, viewed the body in the parish 'church of that village, and then ad journed to Horncastle, where the Coroner and Jury conti nued their labours until about seven o'clOck, when the above verdict was returned, At six o'clock the witnesses were dismissed, and returned home, the elder Osgaby on horseback, and his son travelled on foot. We haVe been thus minute in detail, in order that our readers may per reedy, understand the follow in g p articulars of a very violen attack upon the Coroner, which, but for, providential cir t -cismitances, there icopears every reason to suppose would Lyre cost hint his lite, On turning a earner at the bottom of iictivelsby-park4ane, Mr. Mastin observed an object in the middle of the road, and on approaching nearer he dis cerned that it was a very 11.411 man dressed in a long white smack-frock, who, on ,Mr. Maqiu's reaching the spot. where he stood, immediately levelled three or four tre mendous blows at the horses's head, 'th a very thick hedge-stake, Without demanding money7 l or using any in terugations, accompanying his blows by some imprecations in an evidently feigned _voice, One of the blows grated the coroner's left thigh, a 1 4n-• t4O . villain Wen ittteinp l ied to seize hold of the bridle; but ou perceiving his intention Wir..lVl as ti n forced his spurs into the horses side, the ani: trttl 211prang forwar d, and swot,left the distardlV assailant follow behind. Mr- Mesth i made dueintlttiry-early tiw log itorriing in the neighbo urhood, but could o bt a in no 4ecisive due either as to th e purpose or the ers „„ who committed the outrage. If the v'ilehl's design p ally was murder, which t here is too much reason to suspect it was, the time and p lace was every way and the s fitted for the bloody pur p od e.

The following communication, which we have re ceived from Dr. Lyell, possesses considerable interest, at a moment when we daily hear of " rumours of warp between► Persia and Russia, and between Russia and Turkey. It is translated, almost verbatim, from a paper entitled, " State of the Russian and Polish Armies at the epoch of the death (f the Emperor Alexander;" contained ►n the Idulktin Universel for August, 1826, under the bead Administration, p. 385. The Bulletin confesses itself indebted for it, to " Mauvillon's Militar. Bliitter, 1826." Chap. 1. p. 136. " The distribution of the Russian and Polish Armies presents the picture of an army in order of battle. Front ing the West there is— I. The Advanced Guard of this army, which is formed by the Polish army and the corps of the army of Lithuania, and presents a mass of 80,000 combatants, commanded, and, it may be said, exercised, by the Grand Duke Con stantine. No European army can be compared to it in re spect of mechanical instruction (instruction mechanique). Dispersed in cantonments of about 150 leagues in length (prifondeur) from Lovitch to Minsk, and of 146 in breadth, between Kovno and Dubno, it can be concen trated at Warsaw, or at Brest-Litovski, in less than three weeks. " 11. The Army of the Right, may be considered as composed of a corps d'armee, cantoned in Courland and in LivOnia, of the corps of the Guard, and of the first corps of the cavalry of reserve. These different corps united, likewise form a mass of 80,000 combatants. These troops iare, perhaps, the only ones, which, in respect of mechanic perfection, rival the army of the Grand Duke Constantine. Their cantonments extend from Volangen to . Pleskof, about 132 leagues, and from Revel to Vilkornirsz. At the ut• most eighteen days are necessary to assemble them upon the Niemen. 111. The Army of the Left called the Second Army, is also formed of a mass of 80,000 combatants, cantoned in the Khersonesian Governments.* The greatest length of its quarters, from Khokzym, upon the Pruth, to Tcherkaaski, upon the Deeper, is about 106 leagues; and the greatest breadth ISO leagues, between Maehnovka, near the southern frontier of Volchinia and Simpherbole, in the Krimea. Nearly three weeks are necessary to con centrate this army on the Pruth. " IV. The Army of the Centre, the First, or the Grand Army, presents a mass equivalent to the three preceding armies, consequently of 240,000 combatants. The can tonments of this army extend, on one side, to more than 234 leagues, i. e. from Kazin, upon the frontier of the Go vernments of I'ver and of Yaroslaf, to Saratof, and, on the other side, to more than 320 leagues, from Ostrog to Murom, upon the frontier of the Governments of Vladimir and of Nijui-Novgorod. Six weeks, at least are required for concentrating the grand army in Volchinia. " Besides these four armies, 480,000 men strong, Russia has many detached corps, which amount to more than 267,000 men, The whole of the armed forces of Russia are, therefore, included in the folloWing summary : Max. The four Armies The detached Corps of Finland, of Oren burgh, and of Siberia The Corps of the Caucasus The Military Colonies Garrison Troops 45,000 85,000 67,000 70,000 747,000 " To these, let us add the hordes of the Kbirkeeze nod of the flashkeers, and we shall have an idea of the nuili- tart' state of the Russian Empire." IttAT AR The above is one of the fairest, and, at all events, least exagerated, estimates I 'have seen of the Russian army, aged,' believe, is not far wide Of the truth in most of its statements. The beterogenons composition of this army, its wide. dissemination, and the difficulties of assembling its various corps, (Which are much greater than the author of the above estimate, who only takes time into the account, imagines)--t he want of the " sinews of war," the precious metals—and the inherent weakness of the autocratic Go vernment, only, are some of the drawbacks froM its nominal strength. It even seems doubtful whether• Russia could, at the present moment, assemble 300,000 well disciplined troops on any enemy's frontier, within six weeks; and it may be questioned whether 400,000 troops of her whole army be properly organized. Under the head " Corps the Caucasus," is to be un derstood the Caucus° Georgian army, which is cantoned on both the north and the south sides of Mount Cau casus, and also partly scattered among its Alpine passes. This army appears to be over-rated at 85,000 men. • The latest intelligence I have received makes it only about 60,000. There cannot be a doubt that the number of military colonists was above 07,000 at the time of the death of the Emperor Alexander. But a week ago, in an Evening Paper, I estimated it at 160,000 or 160,000 souls. In this number, however, I include the regular troops, which were sent to train the peasants, and which are domiciled among them—the reserve--the Cantonisis from 13 to 17 years of age, and the Boys froM 8 to 13 years of age.- I?erhaps, in the German estimate, the peasants alone were numbered. I expect very soon to be able to communi. caw positive information on this subject, and respecting the Persian invasion.---Morning Paper. It.

A HORRID CIRCUMSTANCE.—A discovery of the most painf u l and revolting description was made on Monday last, on hoard the ship /damn:, which had just been freighted, and was about to sail from Liverpool to Leith. When the vessel was on the point of leaving the former port, a most disagreeable effinvium was perceived by the persons on board, but without the cause being immediately known. The smell, however, became more and more offensive, and, on endeavouring to trace whence it proceeded, some of the crew suspected it to issue front three casks which were on board, and had been shipped for Leith. A hole was immediately bored into one of them, and no doubt then ex isted as to the cause; but such was the nature of the stench it emitted, that it excited the most painful suspicions. The casks were instantly opened, when the horrid discovery was made that they contained several human bodies, some of them perfect, others mutilated, and all in the most shocking state of decompos No time was lost in inquiring from whence the casks had come, and upon that circumstance being learned, information was in steutly awn to the police, who despatched several officers to the premisiesl On their arrival they made strict search, and after break ingft open the doers of an underground cellar, a place well calculated 1 4 1 : tr a li t ro pu k ilii f f u t tte t n ti , e l y w s er il e cceAed twin • de s cri pt i on to those on board the Latmla all of which on in finding eleven other casks of a escrtbe ; some were perfect, others dissected, human ito picki bodies, e i u o a q, *rtainsodtetstiid; twheeiro loan atfotuhendretcoitalc,owntearien put several sacks were discovered, containing bodies thus fo," t t o "t i ins of the dead.

He was killed at the Trojan war by Achilles. The statue, or something near it, uttered a melodious sound, like the twang of a harp string every morning at sun-rising, and a mourn fUl tone at the sun -setting. Strabo witnessed this ef fact himself. When Sir A. Smith was at Thebes he went at six o'clock in the morning, and distinctly heard the sounds, so much talked of in former times. The statue was dismantled by the order of Cambysees, when he conquered Egypt, but the ruins, by their grandeur and,beauty still astonish the beholder—and from th e pedestal, Sir A. Smith 'heard this mysterious sound, the cause of which has never been ascertained.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10.--Since the dreadful fire which consumed a part of this capital, a kind of tranquillity prevails, but the distress of the Turks and Armenians, who wander about without an asylum, is beyond description.— It is now out of all doubt, that the fire was the act of the Janissaries and their party. It may be remembered that at the time of their suppression they covered the walls of Constantinople with placards, in which they threatened the Sultan that they would return, even from the bottom of the sea, to avenge their wrongs. For some time past, the Divan, and even the Sultan himself, appear more un easy than ever. " This may be inferred from the new mea sures which have just been adopted. In order not to re duce the inferior classes of the population to despair, the Government is obliged to keep provisions at a lower price than they were twenty years ago. The prospect of the future is nevertheless gloomy and threatening. Since the delivery of the Russian ultimatum, Mr. Secretary Canning, the English Ambassador, has also presented to the Divan a note, in which he enforces the claims of British subjects who suffered in their property at the beginning of the troubles, and particularly at Scio. It is supposed that these demands will tend to render the Porte still more dis- posed,to submit to the conditions imposed by Russia.— However, nothing has yet transpired respecting the reso• 'talons of the Divan.—Gazette Universelle. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 20.—We have received by the Austrian post letters from Constantinople to the 11th of this month. We find nothing new in them. We do not think that on the 14th the Divan had yet come to any decision, for we should be already informed of it, since the Tartars are only five days on the journey from Constantinople to this city.—Gazette Universelle. VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—Yesterday, the 29th, being the Saint's day of the Infant Don Miguel, the 'Emperor sent his Adjutant-General, Baron Kutschera and the Crown Prince, the Grand Marshal of his Household, Count Belle grade, to pay him their compliments. The Archduke Francis, Charles, and the other Archdukes, the sons and brothers of the Emperor, visited the young Prince in per son on this occasion. PARIS, OCT. 9.—Most of the news from Spain and Por tugal given by the Journal des Debois to-day, is either false or ridiculous. In the first class is the news of the refusal of the King to receive M. de Souza as an Ambas sador at Madrid; and in the other, the official recognition by the Courts of Russia and France, of the Emperor Don Pedro, as King of Portugal. As for what the same jour nal says of the private dispositions of the Sultan, with re spect to the demands made at Akermann, and of the de fection of the greater part of the garrison of Zamora, stated to have deserted to Portugal, these are some of the private news of that journal which it alone hai received up to this day. This is equivalent to saying that we are more than permitted to doubt theii truth. Is the Drapeau Blanc in earnest in announcing the ar rival of the Infant Don Miguel, at Madrid, whither the Queen of Portugal would go to receive him ? ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 20.—The Emperor has deigned to address to the Directing Senate a Ukase, of which the following is a translation : " Having deemed it convenient to create a Ministry for the administration of the affairs of all the dependencies of the Court conjointly with those of the departments of the appanage• of the Cabinet, with the title of Ministry of the Imperial Court,' under the following regulations, we appoint as Minister of our Court the Aid-de-Camp Gene ral Prince Volkonsky, General of Infantry. (Signed) " NICHOLAS." " Moscow, Sept. 3, 11326:" - Here follow the Regulations of the 'Ministry of the Im perial Court : (From the Journal dea Debats.) LitnoN, SEPT. 23.—(Private Correspondence.)—The sloop of war of the Portuguese Navy, the Isabella, has sailed for. Rio Janeiro with despatches from the Regency, announcing to the King Don Pedro, that his Majesty has been officially reconised as King of Portugaby the Court; of France and of Russia. This corvette, after being kept in a state of readiness for some time, sailed on the very same day on which a Russian Cabinet Courier arrived with despatches, which brought the official recognition of the King by the Emperor of Russia. Since the departure of the Isabella, the Cabinet Coun cils and Meetings of Ministers are very frequent. The Prin cess Regent returned express from Cintra to preside at one of them. The nomination of the parish elections are concluded. They have taken place in the greatest tranquillity, notwith standing the very large number of electors of all classes and of all sorts of opinions that were collected together. The electors nominated consisted entirely of men devoted to the new institutions which the King Don Pedro has given us. The opening of the Chambers is to take place on the 18th of October; however, Government has 'not yet published any thing in this respect; but this much is certain, that the meeting takes place on the day I have mentioned. The tribunals are very slow in examining the proceed ings which have been instituted against the authors of various disturbances which have taken place since the es tablishment of the Constitution, but to remedy this incon venience Government has ordered the Judges .'charged with the proceedings in cases of rebellion,to instiinte them within the time prescribed by the law, which, in fact, is very short. MEETING AT ST. PANCRAS. Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of the Proprie tors of the houses, and the housekeepers themselves, of Somers, Kentish, and Camden Towns, t oo k pl ace i n Gee street, Clarendon-square, for the purpose of adopting the best means of obtaining a more direct communication with each of those towns, from the New-road and the neigh bourhood leading to it, than they now enjoy. Mr. PATINOTON, who has been entrusted with the pre paration of the plans, briefly stated the object of the meet ing, and laid the plans ,of the intended roads before them, which, after u lengthened discussion, were adopted. The proposed line of road will be through Seymour-street, Euston-square, to Camden-town ; and to Kentish-town, through Union -street, New-road. The former proposal was received with high approbation, inasmuch as it will then complete the direct line of street from Covent-garden to this outlet of the town. Previously to any fixed resolutions being adopted on the subject, it was deemed most advisable that a general meeting should be convened by public a dvertisement, and arrangements are making to that effect. A general docu ment, addressed to the Duke of Bedford, has been most numerously signed by the r esident-householders and tradeimen, among whom are many of the tenants of his Grace, soliciting a co-operation on his part in the objects of the meeting, and a Select Committee was appointed to wait upon the Agents of the Duke with this document, previously to the general meeting tak►ng place. Liberal subscriptions were entered into to defray the expenses of preparing the plans, advertisements , &c. 81c., in which the Vestry of St. I'ancras, and the Clerical Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, have consented to participate. and his wife, residin& at Skene-square, Aberdeen, on e A rs, p i e n t d is t i l o i ;e d r the N : cas ti i i o )l n G ot i:li s c i:ni P tig Eß h S iS EV C E h lt e A lsl cE p . a — p without intermission.

Courant. AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the Savannah Georgian, Sept. 5.) " From Guatemala.—The schooner France:, front Omoa, Bay of Honduras, arrived here on Saturday. In her came passenger, P. P. Cagigao, Esq., bearer of des patches from the Government of Guatemala to Antonio J. Canes, Esq., their Minister Plenipotentiary in this country. Mr. Cagigao has in charge the recall of Mr. Canes, who has been appointed Minister of Finance to the Republic of Guatemala. The relations between the United States and Guatemala being now settled, we under stand that a Charge d'Affaires merely will be sent out, and that Mr. Ganzales, former Secretary of Legation, will receive that appointment. " Mr. Cagigao is the bearer of the charter granted by his Government to the house of A. H. Palmer, of New York, for cutting a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean ; but we understand that the conclusive privilege of the right of toll, &c., is but for seven years from its com pletion, instead of 20, as stated in the northern papers. The contractors have also the exclusive right of steam:boat navigation during the above period ; and the canal is to be commenced within ten months, and two years allowed for its completion. It .is said that Colonel de Beneski, the agent of the company, who negociated the contract , receives 50,000 dollars for his services. Mr. Williang!s (our Charge d'Affaires) influence with the (government was of great service in this business. (From the National Intelligence.) " From Mexico, we learn that Commodore Porter was about to take the command of the naval force at Vera . Cruz, apartments having been provided for him, to guard against the diseases of the shore in the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, where it is as healthy as it would be on board ship, until the marine shall be made ready for sea. " The reception of Commodore Porter at the seat of Government of Meiico has been of the most satisfactory nature. The emoluments of his station are less than re ported, but still considerable—say 5,400 dollars per an* num. The Government, moreover, understanding that in entering the Mexican service, Commodore Porter relin quished of course 'an old claim which he bad upon the Consulado of Havannah, agreed to apply to the of of Vera Cruz to place him in possession of a large tract of land on the fine river of Guasacualaco. The (31 ° . vemment of Vera Crus bas agreed to cede to the Com modore eleven leagues square, in the richest and most beautiful part of the State. The tract contains about half a million of acres, and the route of the Pacific, for which a decree has recently been made, will pass through it.

"BALTIMORE, lei' ORE, SEPT. 13.—We have observed, in seve ral Journals of the United States, various eztracte of tors from South America, all tending to convey til e ide3 , that the Liberator Bolivar was aiming at universal pnwe* in South America. These letters are written by Per s t i who know nothing of the public life and p r ivate ch arse- et of Bolivar; or, if they do, some pains ar e taken to forg the one, and misrepresent the other. At the close of our revolutionary struggle, the virtues of the revered ington did not protect him from the foul aspersio ns of his enemies, and an attempt at universal power was 0 1 the least of the calumnious charges brought ag ainst 1 : 1 0 by malignant demagogues. Can we expect an e lein Ned for Bolivar, whose whole course of conduct is mous ' upon that of the immortal Washington ?" (Front the Baltimore Patriot.)
